Fix for Folding@Home (v.7.5.1) Protein Viewer FAHViewer on Windows

With the recent demand in using Folding@Home to combat COVID19, many have noticed the Protein Viewer does not work in Windows with (v7.5.1). This is a temporary fix to get the viewer working using an older version of the FAHViewer from version (v7.4.4)

Note

Bare in mind, the viewer only works for CPU Work Units.

Steps to install:

  1. Download the FAHViewer.exe and freetype6.dll files from version (7.4.4) here:

a) Find fah-installer_7.4.4_x86.exe on internet, open .exe with 7zip to extract the above files. (DO NOT INSTALL OLD VERSION)
